00:16:01 only 8 and I just finished my first day of GCC exams I was not only an older brother I had to start playing the role of a father figure and become the man of the house not a simple task by any

00:16:13 the house not a simple task by any measure as a result we became a very close-knit family just the three of us me Miriam and my mum furthermore I'm

00:16:26 me Miriam and my mum furthermore I'm always instilled in us that the only that we only had each other and had to live and had to be there for each other no matter what that never left me and I lived by that

00:16:37 that never left me and I lived by that philosophy this is the image that you've all become familiar with my sister my little sister since the night of the fire but I'm here today to tell you who

00:16:50 fire but I'm here today to tell you who she really was

00:16:53 mom was born in London and raised in Granville all her life and died in Granville at the age of 27

00:17:03 despite the eight year age gap between myself and mom we were always told we were very much alike obviously she's the more glamorous one but we shared many

00:17:14 more glamorous one but we shared many similar attributes including our sense of humor

00:17:16 of humor lots of banter our love for sport particularly tennis and I Drive to excel in both our personal and working lives thanks to her friends there is now a

00:17:28 thanks to her friends there is now a bench at the Westway Tennis Center in her honor one of the many tennis courts we both grew up playing on to fully capture Miriam's personality I spoke to those who were very close to

00:17:40 I spoke to those who were very close to her including her circle of friends and someone that was very special to her I wanted to ensure that I captured her fully and shared that story with you today and to make sure she's not

00:17:51 today and to make sure she's not forgotten Rome had lots of different group of friends also known to her friends as Maz she was adaptable in that way and got on with everyone what was

00:18:04 way and got on with everyone what was striking when speaking to them even though they didn't know each other so all know each other they used the same ways to describe Maryam they told me she was happy a ray of sunshine once said

00:18:16 was happy a ray of sunshine once said she creates positive rays of light I never said that she had positive positive energy she was always cheerful and had the contagious smile on her face

00:18:28 and had the contagious smile on her face regardless of how she was feeling they said she was funny she made me laugh her facial expressions were hilarious and she didn't care about

00:18:39 hilarious and she didn't care about making a fool of herself in fact I see her expressions in my son

00:18:55 there's absolutely no rush shammed no rush they said she was caring that she

00:19:09 rush they said she was caring that she would make you feel second-best now she would never make you feel second-best excuse me she was always thinking about her friends they said that she would often give you sentimental presence my

00:19:25 often give you sentimental presence my sister was beautiful an ambitious talented young woman who wanted to succeed in a machina career and start a family she had fallen in

00:19:37 and start a family she had fallen in love and had so much to look forward to naturally as an older brother I was very protective but the truth is I was

00:19:49 protective but the truth is I was relieved she had met someone you just pause for a second Ahmed we're not picking up your voice properly it's very difficult you just if you just put it in front of where you're going to be and

00:20:00 front of where you're going to be and then let's try and forget about it okay all right so I'll just start from there Lise yes my sister was beautiful an ambitious talented young woman he

00:20:12 an ambitious talented young woman he wanted to succeed in a marketing career and start a family she had fallen in love and had so much to look forward to naturally as an older brother I was protective but the truth is I was

00:20:24 protective but the truth is I was relieved she had finally met someone decent and most importantly she was in love and she was happy I also know my sister was brave some people say she was

00:20:36 sister was brave some people say she was fearless but I believe she felt the fear and she did it anyway in the year before she passed away she climbed an active volcano

00:20:47 volcano she went to abseiling joined her friends on a small plane across the Caribbean plus psych ward and jet skied around Mexico we went paragliding together with

00:20:58 Mexico we went paragliding together with friends once in Spain and of course she went first she loved adventures and she lived for the moment my sister was confident and strong she wasn't afraid to speak up or speak her

00:21:10 wasn't afraid to speak up or speak her mind and was very secure in her words she had an inner confidence and had grown into a strong ambitious woman she worked hard in her career and it was

00:21:21 worked hard in her career and it was paying off on the 15th of June she was due to have an interview for a dream job of a reputable brand company my sister was selfless she was loyal to her family

00:21:33 was selfless she was loyal to her family in the end my mum and to her friends she was always looking out for others and would figure out a way to help to help you even if the solution wasn't immediately obvious she could have moved

00:21:47 immediately obvious she could have moved out at the flat in Granville tower but she stayed to look after our mum she was brave she was strong and she was selfless my sister was all of those things in the 14th of June last year our

00:22:01 things in the 14th of June last year our father passed away from an aggressive form of cancer when Marion was only eight and so several years ago she raised money for a charity for men with cancer by doing a 5k Betsy run but she

00:22:13 cancer by doing a 5k Betsy run but she obviously had to be different and she couldn't run in normal sportswear and decided to dress her SuperMario if you have a Nintendo you know which cad/cam

00:22:24 have a Nintendo you know which cad/cam referring to a short chubby plumber with big eyebrows and big black moustache nothing like her she ordered the costume and most are separately funnily enough

00:22:37 and most are separately funnily enough the question arrived on time but not the mustache ma'am Miriam could not possibly run a Super Mario without the mustache so she rushed around last minute looking for one before the run after raising

00:22:51 for one before the run after raising money and finishing the race she posted the words this was for you dad and social media

00:23:09 but she wasn't she also used her memory of dad in a positive way by filling a role of a grandfather to my son she recalls that always buying her a Kinder Surprise egg I continued this tradition

00:23:21 Surprise egg I continued this tradition by buying one for my son every time he came to Grenville sometimes she would get a little carried away and buy the larger one or the box of three what was

00:23:33 larger one or the box of three what was amusing she would end up eating the chocolate with my son and we do wonder was the Kinder Surprise really for her or my son the truth is she loved kids

00:23:44 or my son the truth is she loved kids and acted like a kid around my son she would be really excited when my son's birthday was approaching in fact she started planning three months in advance each year and that was man for you she

00:23:59 each year and that was man for you she always loved the challenge even if it meant being taken out of her comfort zone she had suffered from asthma but that did not stop her taking part in tough mudder which is an intense circuit

00:24:11 tough mudder which is an intense circuit full of challenging obstacles in mud this was just not a race that's an epic teamwork challenge perfect for someone like her before the race started she

00:24:23 like her before the race started she strapped her asthma pump to her vest during a particular difficult obstacle she had an asthma attack in the water lost to ask map on her team took her to

00:24:34 lost to ask map on her team took her to the ambulance and as soon as the medics stabilized her you would think she would stop but she continued ran off as if nothing happened and finished the last four and a half miles that was Miriam

00:24:46 four and a half miles that was Miriam for you she was important what was important to her she was determined to finish that race of her team on the 13th of June 2017 Miriam had come over to my

00:24:59 of June 2017 Miriam had come over to my house in fact a couple of hours before the fire and we had a very nice evening with my family and we FaceTime my mum

00:25:11 with my family and we FaceTime my mum and we planned the arrangements to see my mum on the weekend as we'd always do all he's done

00:25:19 little did I know that would be the last time I see them 14th of June 2017 on the

00:25:38 time I see them 14th of June 2017 on the night of the fire my wife woke up worked me up of a call from Miriam my sister told me there was a fire in the building and that she had already left there flat

00:25:50 and that she had already left there flat I could tell by her voice she was scared and anxious I knew something was terribly wrong and I told her to get the hell out of the building

00:26:11 I told her to get the hell out of the building and I was on my way at this

00:26:22 building and I was on my way at this point I never forget the feeling after I got off the phone of her I felt very sick and I knew something was seriously wrong about even looking at knowing what

00:26:33 wrong about even looking at knowing what was that happening we now know that based on the nine online course her and my mom were trapped in the top floor even before she called me before I could

00:26:44 even before she called me before I could even leave or within approximately half an hour from the start of the fire I was thinking what the hell went wrong immediately after immediately after

00:26:56 immediately after immediately after speaking to Miriam my friend on the fifth floor called and told me he was out of Grand Vitara and I was on fire a friend who I consider a brother who lived in that building for over 30 years

00:27:07 lived in that building for over 30 years who has experience of living in that building and have experienced four fires before the refurbishment now I'm certain the building was compromised my mom and

00:27:19 the building was compromised my mom and sister lived on the 22nd floor and he lived on the fifth to have the building covered in flames top to bottom just verified my concerns that my family were in real danger

00:27:30 that my family were in real danger having myself lived in the tower for over 20 years I just knew something wasn't right this time before the refurbishment there had been several

00:27:41 refurbishment there had been several fires but none the way she was describing furthermore they never spread they were always contained in the flat where they started not that I know of

00:27:52 where they started not that I know of any spreading previously so rapidly the drive to Grandpa felt from home felt so long and I was inundated with phone calls from residents ex residents and

00:28:04 calls from residents ex residents and friends all of which many of them were coming come in to Grenville heading down as well I had now arrived and had seen the backlog the congestion the gridlock of emergency vehicles and got out the

00:28:17 of emergency vehicles and got out the car I remember running so fast towards grandfa Tower yeah it felt so slow while on the phone to me maryam started to calm down and remain patient

00:28:28 to calm down and remain patient she was waiting to be rescued meanwhile

00:28:40 she was waiting to be rescued meanwhile I was trying to provide reassurance comfort and hope I not explained the horrifying Inferno that I could see from where I was standing I was trying to

00:28:51 where I was standing I was trying to protect her I was so close to grim fall so close to the fire in fact I was inside the area cordoned off to the public because I refused to move there

00:29:05 public because I refused to move there were many times I thought about running inside but it was clear this would have been suicide as previously mentioned I know I know now Marion was protecting me by not telling me the fact she was already

00:29:16 telling me the fact she was already trapped in by fire on the top floor even before I arrived on the site she had become very selective in the information to tip and she told me and did not display her true emotions she was

00:29:30 display her true emotions she was protecting me by not telling me the flat sheet where she took refuge had quickly become a deathtrap lots of smoke thick back black smoke and coughing but she

00:29:41 back black smoke and coughing but she never mentioned she could see fire but it was clear she knew it was coming I can only presume based on the person I knew her to be she was trying to keep my

00:29:56 knew her to be she was trying to keep my mum calm doing what she does best just to help others and be the selfish person we all knew and loved

00:30:10 the selfish person we all knew and loved under these horrifying circumstances I later found out from the last phone call between my wife and Miriam shortly after

00:30:21 between my wife and Miriam shortly after the first nine online call man was clearly distressed and my mum was freaking out distressed by the fact that flat was gone

00:30:32 flat was gone distressed are all memories of my father and childhood memories were gone everything was happening so fast and clearly time was our enemy at this point

00:30:45 clearly time was our enemy at this point you start thinking about the irreplaceable items like the trophies shed won from the various sporting tournaments like tennis football the milestones that she has achieved like a graduation sentimental things like their

00:30:58 graduation sentimental things like their birthday videos have made her that my dad compartment we were so young be gone and the jury that was passed down from family generations gone there was no any

00:31:13 family generations gone there was no any murmur of a mum that passed away on that night I actually felt like my father died again and the large part of our life the important memories were wiped out I raised in a matter of minutes as a

00:31:27 out I raised in a matter of minutes as a big brother and a father figure Miriam would always call me when she was in trouble or needed help and we always knew we would get through anything however for the first time in my life I

00:31:39 however for the first time in my life I was in a situation where my family was in trouble and I had to run out of options and answers there was nothing that I could do no matter what I said the truth is

00:31:50 do no matter what I said the truth is they were both trapped they had become trapped very early on and there was no way out

00:31:54 way out I recall moments of silence between between us on the phone and I want you to remember what I'm going through this we were a very close-knit family and

00:32:05 we were a very close-knit family and always protected each other

00:32:10 so you imagine if you can't help your family imagine all you can do is simply wait watch and listen to the inevitable death penalty live just while I'm

00:32:22 death penalty live just while I'm downstairs looking up listening and watching witnessing your neighbors traps standing by the window calling for help seeing the uncontrollable and erratic flames moving violently and just hoping

00:32:33 flames moving violently and just hoping they would just stop rather than wrapping the whole building and seeing my family home where we grew up completely on fire rain was a fighter

00:32:44 up completely on fire rain was a fighter and that might prove that I told her whatever you do keep the phone line open it was my way of being there with them I mean what else could I do I established

00:32:58 mean what else could I do I established very early on speaking to the emergency services myself that the probability of survival let alone against saved from the top floor was virtually zero I had to feel like I was there with them mine

00:33:10 to feel like I was there with them mine was very healthy and had a passion for fitness

00:33:13 fitness in fact her the gym was her second home as fearless as she was I knew she had a decision to make that final night I believe she could have made it out but I

00:33:26 believe she could have made it out but I but I knew she would have she would never leave our mum and would not have made it down due to her medical needs she stayed back and comforted my mom and

00:33:37 she stayed back and comforted my mom and she has always done although we were both carriers for our mother it goes without saying that she was the primary carer

00:33:53 on my final call with Miriam despite her suffering

00:34:01 suffering despite her gradual deterioration despite her loss of consciousness she persisted they let me know that she was still there she started fading away from

00:34:22 still there she started fading away from me rather rapidly but she kept going all the way until she was no longer audible she became started to mumble started

00:34:36 she became started to mumble started banging the floor and then finally no longer responsive he was at this point I presumed I'd lost my mum at the same

00:34:47 presumed I'd lost my mum at the same time but then about 20 seconds laya for the first time that early morning I heard my mom's voice she was struggling

00:34:59 heard my mom's voice she was struggling for breath just take a pause for a second ami

00:35:15 she was struggling for breath and said her last words I can't breathe I can't breathe that was the last time I heard their voice she was so frightened that

00:35:30 their voice she was so frightened that she had not spoken prior to this I

00:35:41 remained on the phone and all I could hear shortly afterwards was the crackling of the fire penetrating the windows fire violent fire strong enough to shift the kitchen equipment while I

00:35:54 to shift the kitchen equipment while I was outside listening and looking up helplessly the truth is Maryam could have disconnected that call but I'm forever grateful knowing that I was with

00:36:05 forever grateful knowing that I was with her all the way and that I know she was with my mum and even though I was not in that room with them I felt as close as I could have been

00:36:16 I felt as close as I could have been once again she was thinking about others we were together right until their last breath she was doing what she always naturally did which was to protect family there is I who made the decision

00:36:30 family there is I who made the decision to connect the call to disconnect the call almost an hour after they had gone I was just listening to fire but I was

00:36:41 I was just listening to fire but I was just hoping maybe just maybe someone would rescue them but by that time that would have been suicide for whoever did

00:36:52 would have been suicide for whoever did attempt to go in so having already lost my dad with the exception of my wife I lost it to post that I lost the two most

00:37:05 lost it to post that I lost the two most important women in my life that night my mom Isla and my sister Miriam my mum and my sister were murdered and cremated on the 14th of June last year

00:37:20 to be more specific my mum and sister were poisoned by the smoke they were burnt

00:37:26 burnt they were cremated I had to listen to them suffer and had to listen to them die and to watch Grand Hotel burn for a couple of days but particularly the top floors if that's not torture then I'm

00:37:40 floors if that's not torture then I'm not really sure what else is I had not slept for over 24 hours since the very first phone call and I knew they were no longer here there was no need for me to

00:37:52 longer here there was no need for me to go around running hospital around Hospital was hoping that we'll find them but I did anyway because my friends were trying to be hopeful and I was in too much shock to explain what I just been

00:38:03 much shock to explain what I just been through approximately three months later all I got back was fragments of bone and

00:38:14 all I got back was fragments of bone and muscle tissue before that I was hoping maybe just maybe I'll get to hold them one more time

00:38:23 so for all those year for the years we spent rebuilding our lives have started to grow our family I would have never predicted that I'll be working with the coroner and her team that consists of archaeologists and anthropologists Peace

00:38:36 archaeologists and anthropologists Peace in my family back together bone for bone as if they were dinosaurs and I have to thank the coroner and her team for

00:38:48 thank the coroner and her team for helping me get back every single piece although that obviously wasn't possible we recovered the majority of them so I have somewhere to go to pray and pay my respects they were

00:39:03 to pray and pay my respects they were not laid to rest for several months due to the agonizing weight of identifying them

00:39:12 how did the fire start

00:39:15 why didn't anyone save them what if there's a fire in our home what would we do what win is grandpa going to finish and what is justice how do you answer

00:39:29 and what is justice how do you answer these questions from your five-year-old son what would your answer be we are still waiting for answers almost a year

00:39:40 still waiting for answers almost a year later

00:39:41 later how does not having answers make you feel my son has become a little bit too articulate for me has a very special

00:39:54 articulate for me has a very special relationship or had a very special special relationship with his auntie Miriam and his grandmother Islam and they loved him so much and this is part of his grieving process

00:40:06 and this is part of his grieving process and now he's trying to make sense of it all as I said earlier my father passed away over 20 years ago and it felt like we lost him again as all our memories

00:40:18 we lost him again as all our memories with him were destroyed and wiped out within such a short space of time it's traumatic to have lost a parent at such a young age it's traumatic for a woman to have lost her husband for approximate

00:40:29 to have lost her husband for approximate approximately 20 years and then to lose all the memories they had of him absolutely painful it was more than 72 lives lost there was also the memories

00:40:40 lives lost there was also the memories which were irreplaceable I recall mom had the photo of my dad next to her bed and so did my mum for all the handbags and shoes and jewelry that Miriam loved the things that

00:40:52 that Miriam loved the things that mattered the most to her on that night with the loss of her father's memory and caring for our mother all of a sudden all of the material things she enjoyed were irrelevant and meaningless so you

00:41:04 were irrelevant and meaningless so you tell me how could I possibly grieve when I have to fight Miriam was one of the many who voiced concerns about health and safety prior to the fire she was influential and encouraging people to

00:41:15 influential and encouraging people to come together and raise those issues there was a barbecue arranged for residents of the tower and she felt so strongly for being to be there and to sure people that got together

00:41:26 sure people that got together on the night of the fire I heard her voice for the last time today Miriam has no voice now I am her voice now I'm voicing my concerns per se for homes

00:41:38 voicing my concerns per se for homes across the country to ensure we don't have another grand fall or another national we've been here before let's not kid ourselves this is a lot bigger

00:41:50 not kid ourselves this is a lot bigger than just getting justice for my family whatever that may be it is about accountability and addressing institutional failings no family and I mean no family should have to experience such a catastrophic event

00:42:01 to experience such a catastrophic event which was entirely preventable this was not an accident

00:42:09 you will have noticed by now I have spoken very briefly about my mum Islam I honestly do not have the mental strength or the courage to go into too much detail about her I find the extremely

00:42:24 detail about her I find the extremely difficult to even share a photo publicly but maybe with time that would change I'm simply not ready to feel I'm simply

00:42:35 I'm simply not ready to feel I'm simply not ready and I feel like some things are best kept private at this stage in our grieving process but I will say a few things which I'm comfortable to share with the public

00:42:47 share with the public my mum Aaron were inseparable and it's difficult to talk about men without talking about my mum mum was not in the best of health and naturally mom always prior to has a

00:42:58 and naturally mom always prior to has a prioritized her before everything she had a good job and had the financial means to move out but chose to live with my mum and stay there she was offered the job opportunity in Dubai but declined the offer because she couldn't

00:43:09 declined the offer because she couldn't leave and would never leave our mum she would ensure mum had everything she needed before going out with friends going to the gym going for dinner or even going for her Portuguese lessons

00:43:20 even going for her Portuguese lessons the fact is family came first for Miriam and as recently as last night we found a whatsapp message from Miriam that said and I quote I will drop what I'm doing

00:43:31 and I quote I will drop what I'm doing family comes first

00:43:38 my mum touched many hearts and was a strong woman who raised Miriam and I on her own since my father passed she was very youthful both inside and out she

00:43:49 very youthful both inside and out she was also a great authentic Egyptian cook in fact we started recording her recipes only several months before the fire in

00:44:01 only several months before the fire in fact it was so important to continue those Egyptian our Egyptian culture and tradition

00:44:14 my mum lived in Grand Hotel for approximately thirty four years she loved to cook for people including neighbors friends and family we all loved her cooking and we always remember

00:44:26 loved her cooking and we always remember and missed the taste of her food and finally sir the purpose of sharing this story was to make sure that you had just

00:44:39 story was to make sure that you had just an idea of how special my mum and sister were to me it's difficult to comprehend both of these women were taken from me due to a complete catalogue of cuts a complete catalogue of failures across

00:44:51 complete catalogue of failures across the spectrum that resulted in the loss of lives in the most horrifying way possible it's easy to say we did everything we could after the inferno but what is being ignored is the failure

00:45:02 but what is being ignored is the failure to acknowledge the true and utter incompetence leading up to this preventable tragedy the repeated warnings about health and safety the repeated warnings about weak building regulations that been under urgent review for years the complacency the

00:45:16 review for years the complacency the financial conflict of interest the neglect the neglect by everyone that was involved in the decision-making process the failure to warn that people's lives were put at risk the lack of compliance

00:45:29 were put at risk the lack of compliance it's probably a little bit - for two kinds more like the complete non-existence of compliance because there is no compliance and the misconception that those live in social

00:45:41 misconception that those live in social housing are simply a group of uneducated and second-class citizens that should be thankful for living in the Royal Borough consider Chelsea

00:45:49 so let me remind you that Miriam was born bred raised and educated and I'll be casein a borough she loved to live in she lived in Brent for all her life and died in Granville at the young age of 27

00:46:00 died in Granville at the young age of 27 yeah let me remind you she lived in a community she embraced let me remind you she was a successful graduate from roehampton university an obsessed sports woman a primary carer for our mother a

00:46:11 woman a primary carer for our mother a young marketing manager making positive strides in her early career a volunteer a charitable person a selfless person that was always very excited to do something for others and important an influential voice before the ground for

00:46:23 influential voice before the ground for tower fire she was a young woman in love a young woman ready to settle down she was truly a byproduct of our amazing

00:46:34 was truly a byproduct of our amazing mother who provided unconditional love and taught us invaluable life lessons she was my baby sister babe marry me Lori

02:20:17 translating for Emanuela the mother of Gloria and also for loris who is the father now at the end of the film

02:20:28 father now at the end of the film perhaps they will be forgiven for wanting to add something because they have been so overwhelmed by the intensity of feeling that they wish to

02:20:40 intensity of feeling that they wish to just add a postscript to the film so I'll hand the microphone back to Gabriele at that end so it can be translated at that point on my left is

02:20:53 translated at that point on my left is Cristina the family lawyer from Italy next to her is Laura who will be helping with translation for her as well and at

02:22:03 unnoticed to everyone who met her she was a simple girl who loved laughing and joking she was 26 light hearted and loved life she loved her friends who

02:22:14 loved life she loved her friends who couldn't live without her advice and most importantly she loved her family mum dad

02:22:22 mum dad her brother Julia cousin Georgia and her grandmother Ida Lena and then of course her Marco who held her in his arms until the last breath to protect her she had a

02:22:35 the last breath to protect her she had a special bond with her mum Manuela and they were joined by destiny by sharing the same birthday after completing her studies and all the sacrifices she made to finish her degree she finally

02:22:47 to finish her degree she finally graduated in architecture and then came the time to prove herself she showed her creativity and passion through her design and restoration works and in the preservation of buildings rich in

02:22:59 preservation of buildings rich in history and art she also had a talent for watercolour drawing and the ability to draw freehand pencil portraits that looked so real and lifelike that they seemed like photographs

02:23:10 seemed like photographs [Music]

02:23:29 architects specializing in historic building conservation which I've been doing for many years and we regularly get applications for people to work here at the moment we first saw Gloria clevis Anton's portfolio we realized that this

02:23:42 Anton's portfolio we realized that this was someone with an exceptional talent and that view was only reinforced when she came to see us for an interview we talked to her further and then when we

02:23:54 talked to her further and then when we offered her a job which we quickly did and when she joined us her work absolutely fulfilled the promise that we had seen unfortunately she was only with us for a very short time but even in

02:24:08 us for a very short time but even in natural time she demonstrated what she could do and what a great talent she had and actually had got here a drawing that she helped produce on the Royal Hospital

02:24:21 she helped produce on the Royal Hospital which was the building she was working on at the time that she died her loss is dreadful and the loss of that talent is something also had been more greatly

02:24:34 something also had been more greatly thank you very much the loss of Gloria has left an immense empty space it was human greed and immorality that caused

02:24:46 human greed and immorality that caused this enormous disaster claiming Gloria's life and future who when she understood her fate in her last telephone call said goodbye to her parents with the words be

02:24:58 goodbye to her parents with the words be strong I hug you both I love you [Music]

02:38:01 important to me in my life I was proud of myself

02:38:01 of myself with two lovely young boys growing up strong we named our firstborn Isaac in our mother tongue language Americ it means joy to love Isaac made us very

02:38:14 means joy to love Isaac made us very happy every day he was my spitting image he was my little man he was a great older brother to Lucas they were two

02:38:25 older brother to Lucas they were two years apart in age so they were playing together and we're friends my firstborn and I were very close I loved him so much

02:38:33 much and have so many plans for him and easy education I respect a good manner and good at the question I want my son to be a good strong man but we will never know

02:38:44 a good strong man but we will never know what was in store for Isaac just as in a Bible God tasted Abraham's face my ordering him to sacrifice his son Isaac but an angel prevented the act

02:38:56 son Isaac but an angel prevented the act as the last minutes for us there was no last minute there is no last minute danger Isaac my little boy was sacrified why may I know

02:39:07 little boy was sacrified why may I know and nothing but the truth will do the night was afire I said good night to the children and kiss them sleep they were

02:39:20 children and kiss them sleep they were good about going to bed they are go and they house was false I love whole silent as they drifted off that night was normal like any other night we were all

02:39:31 normal like any other night we were all asleep and was peaceful but suddenly I heard a noise in the corridor and we opened the door we were on the 18th floor in flat 153 there were people on

02:39:44 floor in flat 153 there were people on the load landing running and panicking they said there was a fire and that it was coming up the side of the building like a lot of other people that night I called the fire brigade I was told to

02:39:56 called the fire brigade I was told to wait and the fire brigade was aware and that they would come to get us I called our friends in the building and woke them up they left their floods and

02:40:07 woke them up they left their floods and their or alive I'm happy I saved their lives

02:40:11 lives but every day I asked myself the same question what if I had not listened and we had left right then and there my rock would be here today I will not be

02:40:23 would be here today I will not be sitting here telling you about my boy and our pain I should not be sitting here telling you this testimony we could have escaped and I am living with the

02:40:35 have escaped and I am living with the trauma of asking myself this question over and over again I have lost my five years old boy my firstborn before we had a chance to live together and growing together

02:40:47 together and growing together before my anger San Lucas has a chance to look up to his older brother before their mom had a chance to be cared for by her strong Faris born young man we

02:40:59 by her strong Faris born young man we had not yet begin our lives we were just at the beginning that night as the minute ticked by I called the fire brigade again and again the same

02:41:11 brigade again and again the same response they told me to stay put that is it all of us was were frightened our friends and neighbors was calling and telling me to get out the fire is

02:41:25 telling me to get out the fire is spreading too fast up the side of the building but I kept saying to them no they told me they are coming for us I was trusting the authorities Isaac was following me around the flood watching

02:41:38 following me around the flood watching me listen then a knock at the door at around 2 a.m. and a fire brigade at the door I was relieved and ready for our

02:41:49 door I was relieved and ready for our scape but no he said stay here and I advise us to put a blanket on the front door and that door shut again it was 45

02:42:00 door and that door shut again it was 45 minutes or so later before I finally got a call and advice to live right away we meet the fireman again on the front door I have given a statement about our

02:42:11 I have given a statement about our escapes so I will not go it's here but I want to say that my cell was beautiful little boy with so much potential I will

02:42:22 little boy with so much potential I will never forget Isaac's big beautiful eyes his calm looking wait for his dad to save them all but I didn't because I listened Authority and that makes me

02:42:34 listened Authority and that makes me angry are we not human I have to live with the guilt of not protecting my son every day I am broken and now the only thing that can make me whole again is to

02:42:46 thing that can make me whole again is to fight for truth and justice in exact name and for life for my living son Lucas and for their mother I have nothing left to left for except my other

02:43:00 nothing left to left for except my other Seleucus

02:43:01 Seleucus every time I looked at him I feel pain every time I look at their mother I feel pain too I try to smile and love to make away the pain from them to keep them

02:43:13 away the pain from them to keep them going but you have no idea what it's like I feel as though my head has been cut off as if I am dead but I have to be strong at us to keep going for my

02:43:25 strong at us to keep going for my Seleucus every single minute from that day I'm thinking what if we are not weighted what if that fireman at around 2 a.m. has taken us out

02:43:37 2 a.m. has taken us out instead of tholian told us to wait and shut the door what if and this what if makes my head and had exploded with pain and anger and

02:43:49 and had exploded with pain and anger and my heart shredded but I have to keep smiling don't cry don't show your emotion be strong be a man be a strong father

02:43:58 father my life is in Rainey's I have nothing to live for except Lucas and the memory of my beautiful innocent Isaac as I family we are missing a big pieces of our lives

02:44:09 we are missing a big pieces of our lives we cannot even bear to talk about what's happened Lucas looks away if he see Isaac's picture I cannot bear to look at myself in the mirror his mom has her

02:44:20 myself in the mirror his mom has her church and her face to keep her going on and I was only able to say my beautiful as I can Isaac name just three weeks ago I want the truth I will not have peace

02:44:31 I want the truth I will not have peace until I have the truth I want to know why I was physically stopped from leaving the flood at about 2:00 a.m. why were we kept inside for so long what was

02:44:43 were we kept inside for so long what was responsible for that recession I want answer if I are not listened to the fire brigade my son would have been likely alive today Isaac was a talented

02:46:04 again nah dogs from the outside Isaac seem like the average high road boy he went to school he had friends and not

02:46:15 went to school he had friends and not gum buddy who during the five years that I'd grown tonight and off him he proved he was much more than that he was special and hard-working I'm not sure where the ORS are at home or a sleepover

02:46:28 where the ORS are at home or a sleepover it didn't matter he wouldn't leave his seat without finishing his homework he enjoyed learning he enjoyed football Taekwondo and swimming and he did everything with passion and joy he never forgot about

02:46:41 passion and joy he never forgot about his friends you know I flaunted his talents he shared his loved and play he never wanted to leave our house I remember how him and my brother made plans to trick my parents to letting him

02:46:54 plans to trick my parents to letting him stay Isaac was like the perfect brother to me he always treated me with respect he was always energetic and he had fun

02:47:05 he was always energetic and he had fun during the 14th 2017 was meant to be a normal day you never think something like this could happen to someone you love I watch the news every day but

02:47:18 love I watch the news every day but nothing could prepare me for the reality of what happened that night at first I tried to convince myself that Isaac was ok now he was safe in a hospital somewhere but every time I called my

02:47:30 somewhere but every time I called my mother and asked for news it was with we're not sure from that month on all of our hearts had been filled with the void and the lives of all of us Isaac's

02:47:43 and the lives of all of us Isaac's mother father brother relatives my brother and my sister they've been changed forever well they're Isaac is not with us today

02:47:54 well they're Isaac is not with us today it brings me pieces here that he aren't whose position in heaven he was a loving boy and he'll always be living in my heart and I'll no forget him

02:52:31 in Chelsea and Westminster Hospital he was baptized in st. Mary London damaged young European alternate search what am i kind of most loveliest of man was the

02:52:44 i kind of most loveliest of man was the loveliest memories of Isaac was watching him dig for those worms and I remember coming into your classroom and he just began to read I just couldn't believe it

02:52:55 began to read I just couldn't believe it you know I couldn't believe you know how well he was writing how well he was reading and he just had so much to live for and such a great future in front of

02:53:06 for and such a great future in front of him I might say a few things in Isaac's own words that I've got here and he says I like to play outside and with the capes these are their superhero

02:53:17 with the capes these are their superhero capes and I know how to go on the tunnel and the climbing frame and I go on the pole I have a pole at my park and it's very long a beam lives on the second

02:53:42 toys occurs also like he had such great friends at the school he had it's even easier and yup Sierra and of Ben they played together outside beautifully and every day you would find them down the

02:53:53 every day you would find them down the back of the garden playing football together running and screaming we always used to play it when he was 2 years old

02:54:19 used to play it when he was 2 years old his mother would say he is a charity fun but when he had to choose he choose Arsenal

02:54:30 Arsenal I think he wanted to be a doctor or professor

02:54:40 sometimes he would be you know argument says they had learn but they could always seem to work it out because they were such good friends and the children really love to spend time with each

02:58:53 would stand in front of the door with his little arms out and say no you are not leaving me Isaac also was really very modest and humble little boy I

02:59:05 very modest and humble little boy I remember one day I found him in the in the classroom reading her The Gruffalo the story The Gruffalo to himself he had memorized most of nearly all the words but he could actually read he is so much

02:59:16 but he could actually read he is so much to live for he hid he was such a bright few future ahead of him because it's like his heart is full of God I mean he's a very nice boy like he's like my

02:59:52 everything about Isaac he had a gift for number four mathematics he was gifted in that area and he also attained a really high level of reading for his age with

03:00:04 high level of reading for his age with writing he found it a challenge at first but he wouldn't give up he just kept on trying and in the end he did it to a good standard so he had that I think he

03:00:16 good standard so he had that I think he had so much potential that said he hasn't had the opportunity to reach that because he really out of all the children in that year group he was the

03:00:27 children in that year group he was the shining star the one that stood out as having not only the intellectual capacity but it's sort of an emotional maturity that could take him far in life

03:00:43 good he always used to get mistakes and they always used to fix update he never he never gave up we play level together

03:00:56 he never gave up we play level together we also read books he was good in math her so loved a condo after school every Tuesday he used to go to Mass in cumin

03:01:10 Tuesday he used to go to Mass in cumin and Tufano the practice paper we used to take him 30 minutes but last combination before the fire

03:01:22 before the fire they took him jealous eight minutes but no time to celebrate after he went to a condo I was thinking to celebrate the

03:01:33 condo I was thinking to celebrate the next date but it didn't happen he really enjoyed when we did the bonnet parade although although he didn't really

03:01:44 although although he didn't really although he didn't really want his photo taken but you know he really enjoyed making his Angry Bird hats and it was a great day had by all the children it was

03:01:55 great day had by all the children it was a fun day wherever all the staff were together and everyone was happy and I remember it just been quite a funny day and it was a beautiful sunny day as well and on days like this I always think

03:02:08 and on days like this I always think that the sun is shining on us and Isaac's looking down on us and I remember the day when we released those balloons when we released them up into the sky it was quite a cloudy day wasn't

03:02:19 the sky it was quite a cloudy day wasn't it

03:02:20 it and the minute those balloons rolls into the sky his son just came out and it just felt that he was there with us and I'll always remember how beautiful you

03:02:32 I'll always remember how beautiful you know that memory was is because in my mother tongue language um hi Isaac means

03:02:43 mother tongue language um hi Isaac means joy happiness and love I was really happy proud and grateful that until 14th

03:02:54 happy proud and grateful that until 14th of June

03:02:55 of June thousand seventeen but now my joy is gone and another thing that struck me about when that first home visit they'd only just moved in they didn't have many

03:03:07 only just moved in they didn't have many possessions but the thing that struck me was so full of love the household absolutely you could see that he was

03:03:18 absolutely you could see that he was being loved by both parents ever ever ever ever hundred times ever 100% ever no cheating

03:03:34 they'll have a special garden where we can go and lots of children can sit on his bench and remember him I was always devoted and committed to my little man
